The answer is #2#.

Explanation:

To get the answer to this problem, you have to isolate the variable. This means you have to get the variable by itself.

As you can see in the problem, the variable, z, is being subtracted from 3.

The first step to isolating the variable is to subtract 3 from both sides. If you do this, the 3 will disappear from the left side. This is because you performed the inverse operation of the operation that is happening.

There is one more step to isolate the variable. You have to divide the variable, currently -z, by -1. This will get rid of the negative sign next to the variable. After you do this, you will have successfully isolated the variable, and have found the answer.
